Description
Cape Town wind can push smoke straight back down a flue. A 180mm slimline storm cowl end piece is designed to deal with that, giving a 180mm double skin flue a sleek top that shields it from gusts and rain so the fire keeps drawing.

Why choose a storm cowl?
Compared to a plain bell top, a storm cowl is shaped to stop wind blowing directly into the opening. That makes it a popular cowl for fireplace flues on exposed sites, hilltops and coastal homes. The slimline shape keeps the roofline neat. Browse the slimline storm cowls for insulated flues or all flues and accessories.
Fitting
The cowl goes on the final length of a 180mm insulated flue. It works best when the flue is high enough above the ridge and nearby walls. Our team checks the setup and fits the cowl and flashing as part of our chimney cowl installation service.
How do I know which size to order?
Match the cowl to the outer diameter system you already have. A 180mm cowl fits a 180mm double skin flue only. If you are unsure, measure the pipe or send us a photo of the label on your flue, and our team will confirm the part before you buy.
Will a fire place cowl fix a smoking fireplace?
Often it helps, especially when wind is the cause. If the flue is too short or the wrong size, we fix that too, as a cowl alone cannot cure a poor flue design.
